Howdy, All:
I purchased an entry-level Ryobi 9" bandsaw on CL. The gentleman who sold it to me ran it with a blade installed, and it did just fine. The blade was old and I wanted to have something fresh and new, for easier and better cuts. I purchased a new blade and when I attempted to install it, it kept slipping off the tires. The saw is pretty old, so I thought perhaps the tires have lost their grip.
The replacement tires I purchased were the factory OE tires from Ryobi, part number 0891406067. I looked high and low on the internet and can find no real specs on these tires. I assume they are NOT urethane, or it would be noted.
I looked at some YT install vids and only one of them suggested gluing the new tire in place with contact cement. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance for your knowledge and advice.
